US EditionSearch resumes for MH370 more than a decade after it went missing
Ocean Infinity will conduct a 55-day search over 15,000 sq km in the southern Indian Ocean under a no-find, no-fee deal worth $70 million if wreckage is located.
- On 30 December, Ocean Infinity begins a 55-day seabed search covering 15,000 square kilometres in the southern Indian Ocean, aiming to find MH370 for AU$106 million.
- Earlier this year, improved technology prompted Ocean Infinity to resume search after prior sweeps covered 120,000 square kilometres and a March–April search was halted 1,500 kilometres west of Perth.
- Flight data recorders remain central to resolving what occurred, and investigators hope recovering the black boxes will reveal what happened despite uncertain condition.
- The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said it will provide technical assistance and imagery review support while Ocean Infinity operates under a no-find, no-fee contract worth $70m if the wreck is found.
- The long-running mystery and new drift analyses make the search consequential, as locating the wreckage could inform aviation safety and provide closure for families of MH370 victims.
